Using non cylindrical PET scanners

villekf edited this page Apr 16, 2021 · 2 revisions

OMEGA can automatically compute all the necessary parts for cylindrical PET scanner, but has not been designed for non-cylindrical systems. However, if you have a non-cylindrical scanner, you can try using it by inputting your own coordinates for the detectors. Custom detectors can be input to the options struct as variables x, y and z, where the first two correspond to the transaxial coordinates and the last to the axial coordinates, e.g. options.x. These can be input at any of the main-files (see e.g. main_PET.m for more details, section CUSTOM DETECTOR COORDINATES).
